Bandung is one of the tourist cities in Indonesia. This city has many nicknames, some say "Paris van Java" because the city of Bandung is cool, comfortable and beautiful and its European-style art deco architectural buildings. There is also the term "the City of Flowers", perhaps this meaning refers to the city of Bandung which has many gardens with green gardens and flowers. It can also be called "Artist City" because many Indonesian artists come from here.
There is one more interesting thing in Bandung, namely the Pasupati laying bridge. Not only is its function important but also this bridge provides attractive colors when viewed from afar with color display led lights that are dynamically made in a modern way.
The Pasupati Flyover has become one of the icons and landmarks of Bandung City among the many icons in this old city. The source of budget funds for the construction of this service bridge capital expenditure comes from a grant from the Kuwaiti government.
The appearance of the Pasupati flyover will feel different just before sunset when the display lights have started to turn on. Maybe there are many people who have not paid attention because of their busy daily activities. But please note that from afar this bridge will change colors in a matter of minutes.
Pasupati Bridge which has an important and strategic function connects the northern part of Bandung and the eastern part of Bandung City because there is a valley-like basin called Cikapundang. The length of the Pasupati flyover bridge is 2.8 meters, while the width is 30-60 m. The exact location of this bridge is in Tamansari, Kec. Bandung Wetan.
This long Pasupati bridge also crosses the main road, namely Pasir Kaliki road to HOS Cokroaminoto street, Tamansari street, Juanda street, Cipaganti road and Cihamplas road. This bridge connects Pasteur road to Surapati road. Part of the Pasupati flyover bridge is over Pasteur road and the other is above Surapati road. The two roads Pasteur and Surapati were shortened to Pasopati which became the name of this Flyover.
The Pasopati flyover was built to reduce congestion in Bandung, which is getting worse every day. Finally, this bridge began to be used with first trials on June 26, 2005.
The bridge construction is built in two directions and in the middle of these two lines is a construction support with towering poles and is connected to a flexible component in the form of a cable stayed for flexible and motion tolerant load bearing. This bridge is divided into segments totaling 663 units supported by 46 poles.
This bridge has sophisticated construction technology because it is the first road in Indonesia to use earthquake resistant technology. The device in the construction of this service bridge is called a lock up device (LUD) which is only made in France.
In addition, it is also equipped with a cable stayed along the 161 meters, which means that this bridge does not use feet to cross the Cikapundung valley but with strong poles to support the cable stayed on the bridge that passes through the Cikapundung valley. At the top of this bridge there are 9 cable stayed supports for the east and 10 for the west side.
Karsten was also an advisor and planner of many public development projects by the Dutch East Indies Government such as in government buildings in Batavia, Meester Cornelis which is now the Jatinegara building in Bandung, Pasar Johar in Semarang, government buildings in Buitenzorg or Bogor today. Karsten's works also exist in Central Java, namely the Solo Balapan Station and Pasar Gede Harjonagoro in Surakarta.
